Art is very culturally responsive when it comes to studio classes. One assignment in my Watermedia 1 class gave the students the ability to incorporate their backgrounds into their work as long as the result was visually interesting. At the end of Watermedia, every student creates their own independent project. If one comes from a family of weavers, crocheters, or architects, you can come up with your own project to reflect that. One of the rules was that you had to use water in some way, and you may use water to dye materials, be put into a scene, or paint with. The more unique the result, the better the class responds to it.
Some people like hands-on sculpture, so they made a painted paper sculpture. The student can take advantage of their family or community's skills by teaming up to create something to paint on. Students can go out and ask the school or community permission to display their final project somewhere in a certain environment. This would ensure that the students get feedback about their work. Someone from a crocheting family background made little animal crocheted pieces and put water into their presentation.

This slideshare presentation, (Link is here), is a good visual representation of the article we read. It gives some very specific examples of what culturally responsive things one can teach. An example is assigning a journal to each student or working in small groups with independent projects. The quotes used in this presentation are interesting,
